Which helps you know where your content stands. But most important of all, Clearscope gives your content an overall letter grade (and the average letter grade of your competition). I like Clearscope’s UI much more than Surfer. And Clearscope also analyzes whether or not your page’s headers contains the keywords that they should. For example, Surfer has an extremely detailed SERP breakdown feature.
#SURFER UPDATE#
And update in real-time as you tweak your content.Īnd both have a few differences. Show you the terms that show up most often on the top pages. So I thought I’d quickly compare and contrast the two tools.Īt a high level, both tools do essentially the same thing: scrape the current first page of Google’s search results. They’re two different tools.īut you CAN compare Surfer with its main competitor: Clearscope.Ĭlearscope has a flat pricing structure of $350/mo.
#SURFER SOFTWARE#
So I don’t think it’s fair to evaluate Surfer’s pricing based on an SEO software suite like Ahrefs. But it doesn’t have any features for backlink analysis, SEO site audits or rank tracking like Ahrefs has. Surfer basically ONLY does on-page SEO analysis. Well, you really can’t compare a full-fledged SEO suite like Ahrefs with Surfer. How does Surfer SEO’s pricing compare to similar tools? But you can run WAY more reports with the higher tier plans.įor example, you get 5 queries/day with Hobby. The features that you get access to are basically the same for each plan (with one major exception: the Hobby plan doesn’t come with page speed analysis). You save about 10% if you go for annual billing. If you go with monthly billing, you pay $29/month for “Hobby”, $59/month for “Basic”, $99/month for “Pro”, $199/month for “Business”, and $649/month for “Business Plus”. And it was time to see how their support stacked up.įortunately, asking a question to their support is easy: they have a little Intercom chat button at the bottom of every page. So at this point I tested out all of the key features in Surfer SEO. Which is huge for choosing keywords to go after. Specifically, it lacks a keyword difficulty score. That said, I wish Surfer’s keyword research tool was more fleshed out. Which is why I think “SERP similarity” is a cool, unique feature. So you want to optimize one page around both terms. If the search results are different, then you probably should write a page for each keyword.īut if the SERPs are basically the same, it means that Google considers the two keyword synonyms. Well, it’s something tricky to know whether you should create different pages optimized around different long tail keywords.
Well, if a lot of the pages that rank for keyword A also rank for keyword B, then keyword B will have a high SERP similarity. This is basically how much overlap there is with the keyword that you typed into the tool.įor example, let’s say you used keyword A as your seed keyword.
